336: Chapter 345 Immense Temptation, Extraordinary Core!

When the "new map" of the second phase finished opening, the [National Fortune Game] announcement rang out.

It wasn't an announcement of anyone's death.

Because of the previous announcement's warning, this intense earthquake did not cause any contestant deaths.

Only one unlucky fellow from Fei Hou Country had his leg crushed and broken.

[The "National Fortune Game" has officially entered the second phase.

In the new regions of the second phase of the "National Fortune Game," Thousand Times Materialization is no longer about fulfilling Thousand Times Materialization conditions, but instead exists in the form of "cores."

For example: if a certain country's contestant finds a "One Acre Watermelon Production Site Core," then they can directly perform Thousand Times Materialization to bring one thousand acres of watermelon production sites into their own country.

If they find a "100 Million Barrels of Oil Core," they can directly perform Thousand Times Materialization to obtain 100 billion barrels of oil...

...]

"Oh! Yes~ yes~!"

"This is only fair!"

"Exactly! It should have been this rule long ago."

"The previous materialization conditions were like dog shit."

"I completely agree. If this form of materialization had been used from the start, it's not certain who would be in first place."

"One can only say that certain contestants won because of the version."

"..."

The Thousand Times Materialization rules in the new map excited many countries, with Lighthouse Country, South Korea, and Philippines being the most excited.

Because the one most weakened by the new rules was An Ke.

Previously, with materialization in the form of completing task conditions, contestants from all sides could basically only complete the most basic Condition One.

Only An Ke could complete the most demanding Condition Three.

This made many countries gnash their teeth in frustration.

But now, everyone is just relying on luck; whoever has the best luck can perform Thousand Times Materialization on the highest-level resources.

For example, fruits and vegetables that produce monthly, or livestock with strong reproductive capabilities.

An Ke will no longer monopolize the most demanding Thousand Times Materialization!

Many countries felt a determination to surpass Dragon Country ignite in their hearts.

This time, they had the advantage in numbers.

As for the many animals around An Ke.

Can beasts even be compared to noble humans?

[In addition to "Resource Cores," some new cores have been added to the second phase areas.

For example: "black technology core," "Transcendent Gene Sequence Core," "Any Level 1 Civilization Technology," "Any Level 2 Civilization Technology"...

...]

As soon as this news came out, there was a global sensation.

No matter the country, the audience was inexplicably shocked.

"[Transcendent Gene Sequence Core]??"

"Good grief, is this even the language I know??"

"Does this mean Marvel-style battle scenes might appear in the future?"

"I have to say, I'm looking forward to it more and more."

"Why didn't they choose me??? I want to be Spider-Man."

"I only love Little Robert!"

"Level 1 and 2 civilization technologies are pretty badass."

"It's hard to imagine what Level 2 Civilization Technology will be like."

"All you need to know is that obtaining any Level 2 Civilization Technology means you can directly announce take-off."

"Speaking of which, if there's Level 2 Civilization Technology in the second phase, will Level 3, Level 4...

Even, even God-level Civilizations appear in the future?"

"I suddenly understand why the end of science is theology..."

"..."

Outside, various countries were discussing intensely, filled with immense longing for the future.

For a moment, everyone forgot about the extreme dangers that might exist within the giant forest.

This is the character of most humans.

When overcome by great joy, they forget the lurking dangers.

Inside the National Fortune Game.

Where the Lighthouse Country contestants were located.

After hearing the [National Fortune Game] announcement, the group of Lighthouse Country contestants looked excited.

"My God! This is great. With the [transcendent gene core], we have hope of gaining transcendent abilities."

"With transcendent abilities, would we still fear that brat from Dragon Country coming to cause trouble?"

"If he dares to come, we'll send him to see God."

"Haha! There's no time to lose; we should enter the second phase map to explore first.

That way, we can seize the initiative."

The Number One Contestant of Lighthouse Country grinned, revealing his big white teeth:

"I'll lead the way. I have a lot of experience exploring maps."

He was the Number One Contestant of Lighthouse Country and had been living here for over a month.

He was very confident in his experience.

Beside him, Trump tilted his head and squinted, looking thoughtful.

After a moment of silence, he spoke: "I suggest it's best not to step into the new map just yet."

"We must make sufficient preparations first."

This confused most of the Lighthouse Country contestants.

"Why?"

"Mr. Trump, didn't you just suggest we should enter the new map quickly?"

"No contestants have entered yet; it's filled with gold. If we're late, we won't have a chance."

John also frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Trump's proposal.

"Trump, you're not an enemy agent, are you?"

"Do you want to stall for time and let other countries gain an advantage?"

Trump tilted his head, looking at John with his classic expression.

However, he didn't say anything.

There were no laws here to restrain these hot-tempered fellows.

If the other party got angry and started a fight, he, as an old man, certainly wouldn't be able to hold his own.

So he reasoned:

"Previously, I suggested entering the new map because I was afraid An Ke would come directly to cause us trouble."

"But so much time has passed, it seems he has no interest in us."

Trump didn't think An Ke was afraid or merciful.

The reason he hadn't was definitely because he couldn't be bothered, or he hadn't even thought of Lighthouse Country as an opponent.

It had to be said, Trump was indeed a veteran of political maneuvering.

An Ke indeed didn't take any other countries seriously, except for Japan.

Not even Netherlands, whose Number One Contestant had previously invaded his Camp.

He didn't go to retaliate.

It wasn't that An Ke underestimated his enemies; when a person is strong to a certain degree, they often overlook insignificant matters.

An Ke was very busy; where would he find the time to think about retaliating against this or that person?

Of course! Japan was an exception.

No matter how busy he was, he had to retaliate first.

Trump continued explaining his view:

"So, we are safe for the time being."

"As for whether entering later means we'll miss out on the 'gold' everywhere.

You can all rest assured about that.

I, Trump, can guarantee it absolutely won't happen."

"The new map is so big; how could it be so easy to find a [core]?"

"So we have enough time to prepare. That way, when we encounter danger, we can handle it calmly.

It greatly increases our survival rate."

"..."

Trump's words made many Lighthouse contestants nod slightly, finding them reasonable.

However, John snorted coldly: "A bunch of cowards.

People like you are cold and ruthless when 'playing chess,' but when you take the field yourselves, you become timid."

"We are not hypocrites who live in luxury like you.

If I could survive the first phase, I can survive the second phase."

"Wait until I get a transcendent gene core, then let's see what you have to say."

After saying that, John said loudly:

"Those who want to become stronger and contribute to Lighthouse Country, follow me.

Wealth is found in danger. Once we get stronger, we'll go snipe the Dragon Country Contestant.

That way, our Lighthouse Country will be number one..."
